1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Pseudomonas protegens, a member of the P. fluorescens complex, is an important biocontrol agent with high potential in sustainable agriculture. It produces diverse secondary metabolites, including 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG), pyoluteorin (PLT), orfamides, and protegenins, as well as hydrolytic enzymes such as chitinases, which contribute to antifungal activity, fungal cell wall degradation, and induction of systemic resistance (ISR) in plants. Despite these insights, gaps remain in understanding the regulation of metabolite biosynthesis, variability of ISR across crops, and the field efficacy of P. protegens. Future research should employ omics approaches (metagenomics, transcriptomics) to optimize biocontrol strategies, explore natural inducers of metabolite production, and evaluate colonization efficiency under field conditions. This review synthesizes current knowledge on P. protegens, highlighting its importance, mechanisms of action, existing knowledge gaps, and directions for future research.
